Tasting Notes

Details

Nose: Classic Caol Ila. Sweet and creamy with dry ashy smoke in perfect balance. You can feel the coastal breeze blowing in with this dram.Palate: Ashier than the nose suggests. Smoky limoncello? Lots of thick creamy notes and a touch of honey give this dram a nice layered effect of flavours.Finish: Smoke; vanilla; lemon; lime and melted white chocolate intertwine long after you have finished drinking this great Islay dram.
